In Water Transport in India, which term combines the facts “protocol routes through Bangladesh can connect it with eastern ports” and “it extends broadly between Sadiya and Dhubri”?

Correct Answer: Option B — National Waterway 2. National Waterway 2 is correct because it is it extends broadly between Sadiya and Dhubri. National Waterway 2 is also specifically associated with protocol routes through Bangladesh can connect it with eastern ports. Two additional identifying facts are that National Waterway 2 is it supports cargo and passenger movement in the Northeast and National Waterway 2 is associated with protocol routes through Bangladesh can connect it with eastern ports. Why the other options are incorrect: • Option A — National Waterway 3: National Waterway 3 is the Kollam-Kottapuram stretch is its principal alignment. It is incorrect here because its separate identifying association is it passes through a region of canals and backwaters. • Option C — Coastal Shipping: Coastal Shipping is it can carry bulk commodities without using congested highways. It is incorrect here because its separate identifying association is it differs from inland navigation on rivers and canals. • Option D — Inland Waterways Authority of India: Inland Waterways Authority of India is it came into existence in 1986. It is incorrect here because its separate identifying association is it develops navigation channels, terminals and related inland-waterway infrastructure. Exam Takeaway: Connect National Waterway 2 with “it extends broadly between Sadiya and Dhubri” and “protocol routes through Bangladesh can connect it with eastern ports”.
